Keep - It has been decided previously that Ottawa was notable enough for its city councillors to have articles. It is an internationally known city as it is the capital of a G8 country. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- Meets WP:POLITICIAN criteria as a city councilor of a national capital and well-known and large international city.--TM 10:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While it's true that serving on a city council is not generally accepted as a notability claim in most cities, it is accepted as a notability claim, fully satisfying WP:NPOL, if the city is an internationally famous global city such as Toronto, New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco or London. And that class of cities does include Ottawa — whenever deletion has been attempted in the past on an Ottawa city councillor, consensus has always landed at a keep, and there's absolutely no reason to believe that the consensus to permit articles about city councillors in internationally famous metropolitan global cities has deteriorated at all. The sourcing here definitely needs improvement, but improvement is possible and the basic notability claim is sufficient under both WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Keep and flag for refimprove.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep per above. Councillors in a capital city of 900,000 by all means will "have received significant press coverage" to satisfy WP:POLITICIAN. Hwy43 (talk) 05:10, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
